Tools and Hardware Reviews of 6 Inch LCD Digital Caliper with Extra Battery and Case
Customer Review: Generic device: pick by best price. Excellent, a Must.
Summary: 5 Stars
I had one of these, and dropped it on the cement floor at a Michael's. It kept on working. It was later that I discovered that the exposed arm for the "inner dimension" was bent. In a contest between concrete and Chinese steel, concrete wins. But, conversely, after a little quality time with a pair of pliers, discovering the joys of "enhanced interrogation techniques", my baby was back in service. For those unfamiliar, it's worth mentioning that these calipers can measure outer dimensions from 0 to almost 6 inches, inner width from about 1/2 an inch to about 6 inches, and the rod that protrudes from the end as you open the "jaws" allows you to measure depth. You don't have to be a dentist to appreciate and use all three. Once you have one of these, and, yes, the word "instrument" applies, you will discover a whole world of things to measure. Did you know how thick a compressed wad of 50 one hundred dollar bills is, and whether it will fit in that hidden compartment in your briefcase? And to anyone who ever uses tools to improve their surroundings, having a caliper makes all the difference between a successful and planned intervention and one of those sweaty concertos for hammer and broken screwdriver. Until I got a caliper I didn't realize tools could be used more than once. But clearly after its tumble, the inner width measurements were only as accurate as I could bend the arm back into position, i'll leave that to your imagination. So I ordered another, after wasting time comparing various models. Whatever you order, it may or may not look like the photograph, and paying more will not fetch a better device. These are standard issue $10 Chinese calipers, and all these sellers will ship you whatever they happen to have received that week, with or without a spare battery etc. And they are great. Clean it of oil when you get it, treat it reasonably gently, and you will find that they work, they are accurate and repeatable to the last digit on the display. If you happen to have received a lemon, get another.
After my new one arrived, almost but not quite identical to the one that bit concrete, I was able to quite reasonably recalibrate the old one's "inner diameter" arm by means of a long session with pliers, and now i have two. Much as you might not trust that wounded general with a whole regiment, not with that seeping bandage on his head and those silly tricks he does with his glass eye, he's plenty good enough to lead a squad inside the green zone or probe for mines from the comfort of his wheelchair. So i leave my rehab'ed caliper downstairs to measure the occasional harpsichord or bass string, to set the action on my ouds, and other routine tasks. The inch/millimeter switching is wonderful. I've never gotten one with the fraction inches display, and rather think that's carrying the absurdity of the "English" system a quarter smidge too far! I have a 0.0001" analog micrometer that I used to consult like an oracle for verification when I first got my Chinese Wonder, but it was like reading animal entrails compared to the convenience and efficiency of the digital one, and I stopped checking, as it was always in spec. This is one of the most useful gizmos I own, right next to that hammer and screwdriver, and a great deal.
